Technology

Which outcome occurs more readily when forging turbine blades made from nickel superalloys at excessively high temperatures?

A)Increased grain boundary sliding
B)Enhanced precipitation hardening response
C)Decreased susceptibility to creep
D)Reduced thermal fatigue crack initiation

💡 Explanation

Increased forging temperatures promote grain boundary sliding because thermal energy weakens grain boundary cohesion, therefore the microstructure becomes more susceptible to deformation along grain boundaries, rather than allowing uniform plastic deformation throughout the grains.
